“Americans with the healthiest diets actually eat a relatively small range of healthy foods,” said Dariush Mozaffarian, M.D., Dr.P.H., senior author and dean of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University in Boston. “These results suggest that in modern diets, eating ‘everything in moderation’ is actually worse than eating a smaller number of healthy foods.”
Since 1997, I have quoted Dr. John McDougall: “Radical change produces radical results.” I have observed for the past 19 years that people who make radical changes in their nutritional lifestyle lose weight easier and are more likely to keep it off than someone who tries to “moderate”. A whole foods plant based lifestyle may seem radical, but to me, a seat belt extender, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer and other foodborne illnesses are radical. Slender For Life™ hypnosis for weight loss can help you to lasting healthy radical nutritional lifestyle changes that help you to lose weight and keep it off.
‘Everything in Moderation’ Diet Advice May Lead to Poor Metabolic Health in US Adults
Newswise, October 30, 2015: From the abstract…
Eat everything in moderation’ has been a long-standing dietary recommendation, but without much empiric supporting evidence in populations.
“An unexpected finding was that participants with greater diversity in their diets, as measured by dissimilarity, actually had worse diet quality. They were eating less healthy foods, such as fruits and vegetables, and more unhealthy foods, such as processed meats, desserts and soda,” said Otto. “This may help explain the relationship between greater food dissimilarity and increased waist circumference.”
“Americans with the healthiest diets actually eat a relatively small range of healthy foods,” said Dariush Mozaffarian, M.D., Dr.P.H., senior author and dean of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University in Boston. “These results suggest that in modern diets, eating ‘everything in moderation’ is actually worse than eating a smaller number of healthy foods.”
“Our findings provide little evidence for benefits of diet diversity for either abdominal obesity or diabetes. Greater dissimilarity among foods was actually associated with gain in WC. These results do not support the notion that “eating everything in moderation” leads to greater diet quality or better metabolic health.”

I’ve been teaching people weight loss hypnosis for lot’s of years now. My observation is that when someone isn’t willing to make radical lifestyle changes, they really aren’t committed to achieving their healthy ideal weight and maintaining it throughout their life. Einstein said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Expecting that you can continue eating the foods that make you fat and sick in smaller quantities and achieve and maintain your weight loss goals is insanity.
